Maui 2013: Gecko
Posted in FAMILY on May 12th, 2013
‘R took this terrific shot of a gecko. They are all over Maui and always a treat to see. We love the geckos! ‘R’ caught a gecko. Poor guy is traumatized. (The gecko, not ‘R’…)

Maui 2013: Dinner with Friends
Posted in FAMILY on May 12th, 2013
On our first night, we were able to meet up with some friends of ours from North Bend, (although they live in Redding, CA. now). Linda had texted me and wanted to visit with us in Sacramento the night before their flight to Maui. I had another commitment that night but asked how long they […]

Plans went awry when I ended up dealing with a bad case of vertigo! I awoke about 2am. There was an amazing electrical storm outside. I decided to go on bunny patrol and decorate the dining room table (we do this in lieu of baskets…) Upon completion, I laid back down and immediately vertigo set […]

Upon returning from breaking down my mom’s house, I proceeded to get sick for three weeks. Not surprising, given the physical and emotional exhaustion. DH was amazing at helping me stay down and not try to do too much. When I was feeling better, we managed to get up on the slopes a few times. […]

We did not have cookies for Santa, so we settled on mandarins and peanut brittle… Stocking time… Special announcement! My cousin is engaged! Eric and Crystal came for a quick visit… Christmas dinner at McCormick and Schmicks. A special toast of scotch honoring my mother.
